Four Amish youth have been arrested on alcohol-possession charges in western New York state after a sheriff's patrol car hit a buggy while responding to a report of underage drinking.

For those worried about drunk drivers on the road, it will not be comforting to learn that the government employees who clean up your car crashes may also be drunk.

Herbert Morgan, a state street sweeper in New Mexico, was cleaning up debris from a car wreck, but he missed. His street sweeping vehicle instead crashed into a police car, the Associated Press reported.

Action 7 News reported that Morgan admitted to police that he drank about four cans of beer the night before coming to work.

Morgan had backed into the deputy's car twice but "didn't seem to notice," forcing the officer to chase him down. The state's Department of Transportation will put Morgan on paid administrative leave while he faces drunk driving-related charges, Action 7 reported.

The story follows the news last month that an Amish buggy carrying alcohol collided with a police car.
